THE MICHIGAN DAILY THURSDAY. MARCH 19. THE MICUIGA1~~~~~T JIAILY TT~~ITTa ~ VMA~1 0 naa ,. w,. ..a, aun ~ lVltllVUKI 17, JLZPU% M' Cagers Ready for Improved Duke SAE Captures IM Track Title; Sig EP Second, Theta Xi Third "We're go'ng in with respect for everyone and fear of no one." So says Coach Dave Strack of Michigan's Kansas City bound basketball squad. The Wolverines will open their bid for their first NCAA basketball championship tomorrow night against third ranked Duke. * * * Telegranm Alpha Kappa Psi, professional Business Administration frater- nity, is sponsoring a mass tele- gram from Michigan students to Coach Dave Strack and the bas- ketball team in Kansas City. Over 1,000 names were collected yesterday, and if a total of 4,800 are obtained, the telegram will be 100 feet long-long enough to reach the length of the court with enough left over to bandage Caz- zie Russell's ankle. Stands will be set up in front of the Union and on the Diag to- dqy to collect signatures. A dcnation of ten cents, per signature is asked to pay for the telegram, and any money left over will be given to a basketball schol- arship find. Any campus groups wshirg to submit names should colEct the signatures (and the dime per each) and call Lhe Alpha Kappa Psi house 65-2789) be-: fore 6 p m. The names and moneyv will be picked up between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., tcnight.; Although some observers are making Michigan a favorite based on their previous 83-67 triumph over the Blue Devils, Strack isn't taking the opening game lightly. "We're not looking past them," says Strack. "We're not looking past anyone. We're just lookingl forward to Friday night." Duke's coach, Vic Bubas, says his team has matured since the loss to Michigan. "We think more aggressively, play more aggres- sively now. We are a more con- fident team," he added. "Our scoring balance is better and we're a little better off defens- ively." Recent performances back up' Bubas' sentiments. In the NCAA Eastern regional finals, Duke completely outclassed Connecti-j cut. And even though All-Ameri- can Jeff Mullins scored 73 points in the two games, Duke showed it wasn't a one man team. Second string sophomore guard, Steve Vacendak, played so well that he made the Eastern regional all-star team. For rebounding strength, the Blue Devils have Hack Tison and Jay Buckley. Both men' are 6-10 and combined with Mullins form a very formidable front line. In Friday's second contest top rated UCLA will battle unherald- ed Kansas State. Tex Winter, K-State's head coach, will be wearing his lucky brown suit for the game. Winter has been wear- ing his good luck piece the last 13 games and the Wildcats have taken them all. Ranking Aid Winter feels the pressure of UCLA's number one ranking will enhance the chances of his own team, but Uclan coach, John Wooden, doesn't agree. Wooden says the rating "doesn't mean that much." The Bruins' coach added, "At this level . . . nothing could be considered an upset." The Wolverines will be the first team to reach Kansas City, arriv- ing at 11:09 this morning. The team will have their headquarters in the Continental Hotel and practice in Municipal Auditorium from 3 to 4 this afternoon. As of now, the Michigan-Duke game is scheduled to be picked up in progress for television viewing at 9:30 p.m. on WWJ-TV, Channel' 4. If the Wolverines win, the championship game the next night would be picked up, again in pro- gress, over the same station at 11 p.m. TV plans, however, are not final at this time. By STEVE GALL Sigma Alpha Epsilon. showed team balance where it counted as it fought off a strong challenge. from Sigma Phi Epsilon to win the I.M. Fraternity Indoor Track Meet Tuesday night. Scoring in five out of the nine events, including three firsts and two seconds, SAE counted a total of 31 points. Meanwhile, Sig Ep, although scoring in all but one event, could only show two firsts and one second. Theta Xi finished third with 19 points while Delta Upsilon was fourth with 17 points., STOWELL, JOHANNESEN DOUBTFUL:. Bay To Miss NCAA Wrestlin Tourney (*g Although the meet saw no new records, the performances were generally respectable. In a near record showing Tony Lopucki of Lambda Chi Alpha pole vaulted 11'6", only one inch off the exist- ing mark. Lopucki, pressed hard from Bill Raymer, Delta Upsilon, won on fewer misses. Ed Barret, Sig Ep, won the 65- yard high hurdles with a time o .09.1. Theta Xi was strong in his event as it placed Tom Mi- heve and Jim Black second and third, respectively. In the mile, which saw a flock of runners competing but only a handful finishing, John Pahl of Phi Gamma Delta won in 5:01.3. Pahl, who has broken five min- utes in high school, was defend- ing champion in this event. Theta Xi's Fred Jardon won the 440 dash with a time of :56.4. His time was the fastest in the three heats that were held. The 60-yard dash provided the most exciting event of the night. In a highly contested final sprint Dave Campbell of SAE broke the tape first in :06.8. However, a pint-sized runner from Phi Epsi- lon Pi, Dan Pinkert, surprised everyone with a close second and a fine :06.7 in his qualifying heat. Defending champion, Al Boos repeated in the 880-yard run with a time of 2:13.1. Boos is in Sig Ep. SAE swept the first two places in the shot put. George Frame CAZZIE RUSSELL OLIVER DARDEN THE EXTRA POINT by JIM BERGER Hockey Hypocrisy A favorite pastime for any sports writer is to look at a champion- ship team that beat out the team that he's following and point out that they're champions because they scheduled only the weak teams while his losing team played the strong ones. For years this newspaper has blasted Minnesota hockey coach John Mariucci for his refusal to play Denver, a perennial powerhouse in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). Ohio State has been criticized for not playing Michigan State in football. This year the Michigan hockey team played the scheduling game and won. Today they play in the National Collegiate Athletic Association hockey championships at Denver. Michigan didn't play second-place Denver and third-place North Dakota during the regular season.. Last weekend Michigan looked pathetic in the WCHA playoffs at Ann Arbor. They had to go into two overtimes to defeat Michigan Tech and then they were skated off the ice by Denver. I'm not saying Michigan is a "cheese champion," but last weekend they sure looked like it. If the series were played at Tech, Michigan wduld have been beaten easily. For Saturday's game you can't say Michigan was tired, because Denver also played two games and then flew to Ann Arbor for Saturday night's final. For those who've seen Michigan play this season, they can only say that Michigan had an "off series." They weren't up. This weekend should prove just how good Michigan actually is. - But there's another problem, far more serious than how good or bad the team plays. It's the problem of hypocrisy. Michigan set out on a new hockey policy last season to withdraw from the WCHA with Michigan State and Minnesota and form a Big Ten Hockey League or something in that order. To facilitate the withdrawal, Michigan ceased scheduling teams like Denver and North Dakota. They played only Colorado College because a previous scheduling arrangement had been made to have CC come to Ann Arbor this year. Another reason was the high cost for transpor-tation to Denver, North Dakota and Colorado College. At the beginning of the season, there were doubts that Michigan was still in the WCHA. The Wolverines had it easy. They played Michigan State, the league's last-place team, four times and won all four, games; Michigan Tech, the fifth-place team, four times and won three; Minnesota, the fourth place team, four times and won three; and Colorado, the sixth-place team, and won both games. Michigan, who had renounced the WCHA, then decided that they would happily accept the championship and the chance to play in the NCAA's. So what Michigan had blamed Minnesota for doing, they did themselves. If Michigan's policy had been consistent, it would have refused the WCiA title. I just hope we don't have the hockey team screaming about "bad scheduling" ever again. By SCOTT BLECH A few days ago, if Coach Cliff Keen were asked about Michigan's chances in the NCAA wrestling meet, he would probably have an- swered that his grapplers would be in it all the way. Yesterday, asked the same ques- tion, Coach Keen replied that now, "Things look tough." Forecast This change is due to three sud- den and possibly disastrous occur- rences. Most disastrous of all is the loss of Michigan's hard-luck 157-pound junior, Rick Bay, who will be absent from thetourney with a badly bruised shoulder. Scrappy 130-pound sophomore Bill Johannesen wrenched his knee during Tuesday's practice and is a doubtful participant as; is 177-pound Chris Stowell who is being tested for mononucleosis. After seeing the doctor yester- day, Bay said that his shoulder was badly bruised and although there was no fracture it was "not advisable for him to wrestle." Bay was injured in the quarter finals of the Big Ten meet and was forced to drop out of his semi-final match with Big Ten champion Lee Gross of Minnesota. The stocky Michigan wrestler fin- ished fifth in the 157-pound weight class of last year year's NCAA meet and was eyeing a chance, to improve on this per- formance in next week's tourna- ment. Either Captain Wayne Mil- ler or sophomore Tony Feiock will replace Bay for the Wolverines. Not Bright If Johannesen does not recover from his injury in time to wrestle in the NCAAs, Doug Horning will substitute for him. The outlook for Johannesen is not bright. Keen says that he doubts if his third place Big Ten finisher will be able to see any action. Stowell, who finished third in the Big Ten meet, is a question- able entrant in the NCAAs also. Keen is not going to enter anyone in Stowell's place in the event he does not wrestle. The Wolverines, however, have been plagued with injuries on other occasions this season and survived. At the beginning of the season, Dave Dozeman,who fin- ished third in last year's NCAA meet, was seriously injured and was lost for the entire season. Cal Jenkins missed most of the cam- paign with a badshoulder.mDe- spite these heavy losses, the mat- ment were undefeated in Big Ten competition and captured the con- ference title. Burdened A lot of the weight has shifted to the back of Big Ten champion Ralph Bahna who will be out to add a national crown to his credits. Bahna who wrestled at 123-pounds in the Big Ten meet is working to get his weight down to the 115-pound class which is an added weight in the NCAA meet. If Bahna does not wrestle at 115 pounds, he will grapple at RICK BAY CHRIS STOWELL BILL JOHANNESEN 123 and Mike Palmisano will be the Michigan entrant in the light- weight bracket. Sophomore Tino Lambros will wrestle at 123 pounds if Bahna weighs in' at 115. In the 137-pound weight class, either the Big Ten fourth place finisher, Cal .Jenkins, or senior Gary Wilcox will be representing the Wolverines. Wilcox, who fin- ished sixth in last year's NCAA tournament, is giving Jenkins a real battle this week for a berth on Michigan's NCAA squad. Strong Contender Lee Deitrick is considered a strong contender for the national title at 147-pounds as a result of his title winning performances in the Big Ten meet. Deitrick is ex- pected to find his toughest oom- petition from Iowa State's Veryl Long who finished third in last season's tournament. Joe Arcure represents the mat- men at 177-pounds and Big Ten1 runnerup Bob Spaly will grapple in the 191-pound weight class. This is the other additional weight class in the NCAA meet and gives Spaly a chance to wrestle with men that are closer to his own weight. During the season he fought heavier wrestlers in the open-ended heavyweight class. Form Sheet In the lightweight class, defend- ing champion Arthur Maugham of Moorhead State will be top- seeded. His biggest challenge will be from Pittsburgh's Mike John- son, who was runnerup last year. Iowa's Big Ten champion Norm Parker has, according to Keen, as good a chance as anyone to take all the marbles in the 130- pound division. Lewis Kennedy who won the Big Ten title at 137-pounds for Minnesota is expected to make a strong showing. Kennedy finished fourth in the 1963 national meet when he wrestled at 130-pounds. A battle between Gordon Hass- man of Iowa State and Rahim Javinmard of UCLA shapes up in the 157-pound category. Last year, Hassman placed third at 167- pounds and Javinmard was fourth in the 157-pound weight class. Jack Flasche of Colorado State won an NCAA title in the 1962 tournament at 157-pounds but is wrestling at 167-pound3 this year. Air Force's Terry Isaacson is off the gridiron and will be trying to improve on his fourth place Dean Lahr of Colorado will settle for the same finish as last year when he grabbed the 177- pound title in the 1963 meet. Spaly who finished fifth in the heavyweight division last year will find tough competition in Ron Parr of Wisconsin who finished third to Michigan's 191-pound 1963 NCAA champion, Jack Barden. The tournament will run from March 26-28 at Ithaca, N.Y. The top teams in the meet are Oklahoma State, Iowa State-and Michigan if they survive the in- jury jinx. Frat Stats 65-YD. HIGH HURDLES-1.
